Thursday’s Runner Recap, 4 Fresh Plays to End the Week

Solid Thursday Outing:

We were very pleased with how things shook out for our daily options trading targets yesterday. We formulated a slate of three possible plays in our premarket report for the day, and all three returned solid figures for us. We’ve perhaps had less of a volume of interesting earnings reporters to go off of this week in comparison to the previous few, but we’ve certainly managed to produce some nice winners in spite of that fact.

Yesterday’s daily runners were the NVDA Weekly $1010 Calls, the ELF Weekly $160-162.50 Calls, and the NTES Weekly $195 Puts. The multibag gains they posted on the day were as follows:

NVDA Weekly $1010 Calls

Midweek Movers, 3 Potential Plays

Wednesday’s Performance:

Things went reasonably well for us on Wednesday. We loaded up with four potential plays in our premarket report for the session, and three of them returned positive results. We get things right such a majority of the time, that we have to simply accept when the rare occasion comes along that we miss on an idea. For yesterday’s report, that was Williams-Sonoma, but thankfully there were plenty of opportunities in our other three selections.

Our tags for the day that did experience intraday upswings were the URBN Weekly $42 Calls, the TJX Weekly $99-100 Calls, and the TGT Weekly $144-142 Puts, and the biggest runs off of those plays were as follows:

URBN Weekly $42 Calls
$42:
